During last week-end, me and my sweet Hubby went to Bologna to the exhibition of the 'Gelman Collection - Mexican Art of the XX Century'. Among the artists, the most represented and famous (at least here in Italy) were Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. (Mostly for their personal story, in fact there were a lot of pictures of their life together)I've been in love with Frida's work for years, even if often her paintings, expecially the most personal and 'brutal' just hit me in the guts...but this is what an artist's talent is all about, isn't it? The ability to convey emotions through their work? Surely Frida has been not only a remarkably talented painter, but also an extraordinary woman, capable of pouring her sufferings, pain and emotions in her paint, and to make the viewers feel them. Only few artists can really do that.Being able to admire her work so closely...meaning almost with my nose on the painting...has been like a dream coming true...

Quello in mezzo, ovviamente, è un mio tributo fatto tempo fa...The one in the middle, obviously, has been made by me some time ago...
